AS FAR AS IT TAKES TO SEE THAT. WE'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED AND LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT CLEARS UP. NEW AT 5:30, A POPULAR BAR NEAR THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA SUDDENLY SHUT ITS DOORS. YEAH, THIS STORY IS A HOT TOPIC AT UCF TONIGHT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE MAD HATTER ACROSS FROM UCF'S MAIN CAMPUS. AMAKA UBAKA IS LIVE THERE TONIGHT. DID THE BAR REALLY CLOSE BECAUSE OF TOWING ISSUES? WELL, THAT IS WHAT THE OWNER IS SAYING, MATT.

THE STUDENTS WE TALKED TO SAYS THE TOWING POLICY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. YOU SHOULDN'T BE PENALIZED FOR NOT ENDANGERING PEOPLE'S LIVES AND DRINKING AND DRIVING. NO ONE IS SAYING WHAT THE TOWING COMPANY IS ILLEGAL. THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO SIGNS IN THE PARKING LOT. THE BAR THINKS THEY'RE GOING ABOUT IT TOO AGGRESSIVELY AND STUDENTS SAY THEY'RE TRYING TO
